dee barnes colourful handmade jewellery at iapetus.co.uk

Dee Barnes is a mixed media jewellery designer. Her main source of inspiration is colour. From the soft pinks and yellows of Venice to the slate greys and mossy greens of Yorkshire; all influence her. Dee originally specialised in hand built ceramics but with a young family and running a business she struggled to find the time. She then realised creating component based jewellery was her true calling!

Dees background in ceramics has allowed her to develop unusual, surface patterns or textures. She uses many medias such as paint, copper foil, rose gold plate, silver or gold leaf and resin to create her unique designs. All of Dees designs are one-off, handmade designs that she makes herself in her studio in Leicester. We stock her two amazing, colourful collections; Colourfield and Crystal Rocks.
